Me two, untill I saw: http://www.gamespot.com/ps2/rpg/worldofmana/index.html


Edit: It might go DS too, who knows:  "During the Square Enix Party in Chiba, we learned that Square Enix also plans to expand its new Mana game across multiple platforms and multiple genres. A pamphlet provided to the press included a two-page announcement for the official launch of the project:

"Our staff are working hard to bring the world of Mana to everyone in various genres and platforms. Please look forward to the Mana series from now into the future."

Niceness.
It's good to see another Mana game.  I never got to play (or even find) Legend of Mana for the PSX, but I did play Sword of Mana, Final Fantasy Adventure, Secret of Mana, and Seiken Densetsu 3 (Legend of the Mana Sword?).

No matter what people say about SD3, I still like Secret of Mana the best.

I was netplaying it over ZSNES with Rugal a week or so ago.. but I've been so busy as of late that I've neglected my Sprite Wizard duties.... :(

SoM is a great game. LoM was decent, but I just couldn't really get into it.

Is WoM suppoed to be an MMORPG?

It'd be weird if it were a Cross-Platform MMORPG, with people from the DS, PSP, and other systems playing it...
...sounds impossible, though.

Not impossible if it's primarily a top down perspective like the other entires in the series.

What I understood from the Gamespot article, they are launching all sorta crap like an anime, manga etc. etc. etc. in addition of it being multiplatform and multigenre( :blink?) or something.

I pray to gods it will be 2D, like the illustrations!

Oh, and LoM was teh shit, way better than any of the rest Mana games IMO.

Unfortunately, I have not played the game, so I cannot concur.

Big Mana project... which is weird considering the Mana guy left Square (didn't he?).  Wasn't he also the Chrono guy?

I wouldn't say that. Long as they don't put the guys behind FF in charge of the Mana series.

as long as the people behind ff11 confess their sins they are saved from the lake of sulphur, multiplayer is NOT how Final fantasy is meant to be!
btw i think thats 3 derailments  ;)

I just think they shoulda called FF11 FFOnline instead. It's not like it follows the same logistical rules of the rest of the series.

I was supposed to have similar concepts in play... but it was as much a FF game as FFMQ was. O_o

There is a way to destroy the franchise. And this thing is 3D. :(

Except Ultima IV for SMS, I've never own a console RPG. Should I purchase this one?
